Homes and cars are a necessity Spending extra money on a smartphone is not ....... okay? So that comparison doesn't even make sense yeah, no you clearly have a different definition from me of the term "status symbol" if you think it refers to "necessities" which neither home ownership nor owning a car qualify as, by the way sine we're being pedantic. I don't think you have a solid grasp on what a status symbol is either. Your analogy of everyone having cars and homes means very little since you seem to be generalizing it. Just like how everyone has a phone. Yes most people have a car but I wouldn't call a some beat up 07 civic a status symbol when the guy living in Beverly Hills is driving a Maserati that costs hundreds of thousands more despite serving the same purpose. And big whoop if you own a home. Doesn't mean shit if it's some crummy 2 bed 1 bath in the middle of the projects.
